Well the holidays are over and I am going through a case of withdrawl. We had all nine children with their spouses and all four of our grandkids here with us on Christmas day. It was so great to see everyone and just hang out! I stayed up Christmas eve wrapping the last of the presents and then went to bed around 9:30am to catch some zzz's while we waited for everyone to get here so we could open presents. I'm not sure what time it was, but Joseph woke me up with Asher in his arms and I got a big smile on my face because he is so freaking adorable and then I glanced down at his shirt and it said 'only child' on it but that was crossed out and underneath it was the title 'Big Brother' ! My smile grew much bigger and I squealed! So we have Tristan coming in February and a new one again in August. I was talking to Josh the other day at work and I told him I was kinda hoping for a little girl, but he would like a little boy next so Asher has a brother to play with. I still remember the look on Joshua's face when I told him about Johnathan. His eyes got really big and he said "Really, a boy? Are you sure about that?"
So I guess the thing to do is to get Alisha and Emma up here! I thought about sending Alisha listings of job openings up here for paramedics. I could do that on a regular basis. I know Emma is in dance and it kills me that I can't see her performances. I hope Alisha is recording them, that would be a cool Christmas present, a DVD starring Miss Emma Jane Humphries!
Only a few more weeks and we get Jaron and Tayson while Heather and Jason get a much needed vacation to Florida. I can't wait to be able to spend time with those boys, it'll be like old times around here! They are so cute and we are going to have a blast.
Rachelle is singing with the Honors choir at Cottonwood High School on the 23rd and 24th. I am going up there to see it. I had to promise her that I would be good, and not embarrass her. That will take some effort, since everything I wear, say and do is an embarrassment to her. TeeHee. Well love you all Mikey
